So the character "is lost in a maze of twisting passageways" - you left out the important bit, though - are they all alike?

A bit of both, really. It does try too hard, but about, say, one quarter of the jokes I found genuinely hilarious - the history of felt springs to mind as a great example.

I concur the fuck out of that sentiment.

He is, though I hear he set his hairdresser on fire…

I liked Iron Council just fine. It's the weakest of the three Bas-Lag books, but that's a *very* faint disrespect.
I thought City and the City had a relatively mild, cliched plot (still, definitely not bad, and fairly gripping.) The setting, though, is so mind-bendingly interesting, and the idea was so beautifully…

Where's the beef??!?!?

Seriously doubt it'll come out for the PC, must be a typo.

There are some small incremental enhancements, like a much enhanced co-op experience, and some smart ideas (like the activated beacons becoming part of the skyline and functioning as landmarks- who'd ever expect this game to have something in common with Shadow of the Colossus?). The population changes are not…

The remind me of the rabbids. Surprised there isn't a Rabbid movie or saturday morning cartoon…

I think it's much, much more chaotic than anything Gaiman's ever done; Huge ideas are thrown about with a fair amount of recklesness - you might not like this book for any number of reasons, but I wouldn't be concerned about it being too, um, rigid.
It meshes with reality well enough, but not in the same way…

Not a fan
Read this a couple of weeks back, and the bits I remember (a lot of which are mentioned above) make the book seem a lot better than it actually was. I had this constant feeling - "I should be enjoying this a lot more than I am", as if all those neat ideas are spread a bit too thin, and everything in between…

Was that before or after she got a sex change?

I was thinking the same while reading the review. The plot in the first one was actually a point against the game.

Holy shit, you're right - it's officially based on the same universe.
On the other hand, and marginally related, a new Disciples game came out last week here in the UK - whee!

Just to add a little to the pot:
I was born in Venezuela, but I haven't been there since I was 10. I have a lot of family and friends back there, so I can pretty much confirm a lot of what Carlitos says. Most of them are middle class, so make what you will out of that; but to give a concrete example, one of my friends…

Wait - as someone not in the US, I've only seen Olbermann a couple of times, but he seemed pretty smart, articulate and on-point, so learning that people (outside of the right) hate him kind of surprises me. Has he pulled off stunts like Moore's, or is it just that he's very vocal, and most of his stuff is not as good…

Loved both the Innocents and Two Sisters. Never had thought to compare the two, but yeah, they'd make a terrific double bill.

My favorite Keanu quote remains "I WANT ROOM SERVICE!"
His reading of "Congratulations" in Matrix 2 is a close second, but that's weird on purpose. (um, I think)

It is a bit silly - kids will be kids. Have you let him play any of the GTA games? they're a lot worse than red dead redemption, and the closest point of comparison.
I'd actually say RDR is a bit more wholesome than the GTA games. There's barely any sex and the game's fiction heavily pushes you to be honorable, to the…

PS3 exclusive, unfortunately. No idea if it can be downloaded to a PSP.
